    If the ebay stamps don't suit your liking, there is a place in Oklahoma who makes custom stamps (if they don't already have the design you are looking for). https://www.shop.bunkhousetools.com/Embossing-Plates_c4.htm

    Having adjustable straps allows for all straps to be the same. One pattern for all. Let consumer make adjustment to fit.

    Great job. If you hadn't pointed out the skipped stitch, i would have never noticed. Wow! Impressive.
  4. PastorBob
    Never seen anything like it. Looks brand new.

    Those look fantastic! Love the color. Stitching looks on point. When I back stitch at the end of a run, I will pull the first stitching really tight so the back stitch over the top will lay down a bit more and not be as obvious. Make sure to burnish those belt slots too.

    Great idea to use the bison as the gussets. It probably made it easier to sew / bend around. Very sharp. Well done on the lettering too. Very difficult to do and do right.

    Welcome from SW Missouri, USA. You will fit right in. Please don't hesitate to share photos of some of your work. Would love to see some of your restorations.

    Another great piece of work, @Hags. Noticed there is a slight deformity around the belt slots. Love the color and the personalized stamp on the back.

    I agree with your client. Very nice. One will never notice the difference in color while being worn. It will be chalked up to sun and shadows. Great job.

    Welcome from Southwest Missouri, USA. lots of help here for sure.

    I agree that it is fun to see all the organizational ideas on here. Very resourceful way of keeping what you need close. Nice job on the round knife sheath. You can't beat a good basketweave. Hopefully, by this time next year, I will have my shop built. It will be 15' x 40'. Beats the 12 x 12 bedroom I am using now. Should give me a little room to maneuver.

    I love the color. what did you use to keep the flap down? magnet? snap? or is it just held down naturally with no assist?
  13. PastorBob
    Like the addition of Yosemite Sam. It really shows up well on the natural colored one, but the image on the red one is a little harder to see.
  14. PastorBob
    That is some nice detail. What thickness leather did you use? How did it affect the grip thickness in one's hand?

    maybe some of these videos will work to assist. https://www.google.com/search?q=PFAFF+335+H2&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS923US923&oq=PFAFF+335+H2&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l5j0i390j69i60.1968j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 or this search...

    Also, are you punching your holes before or after dyeing? After is much better, dye can't sit in the holes then.
  17. PastorBob
    Nice job, Chuck. I like how you have the slots and can still use on your belt if so desired. Belts don't go well with overalls, so this works perfectly when the occasion arises. Could probably even conceal it under the bib (should strap would still show).

    +1. I normally measure the distance I am stitching, multiply that by 4, then add a bit for thread length. I use .8mm thread and saddle stitch. Most of the dye transfer is on the ends which are cut off when done.

    Good lookin' rig. Mighty nice.

    very impressive. Nicely done. Stitching looks impeccable.

    Pretty ingenious, Frodo. Never seen such. Great idea. Also love the magazine holders.

    If it were me, I would use adjustable straps and the table below so you can make all of them. Say, use a velcro attachment of some sort. And welcome to the forum.
  23. PastorBob
    What a find, Chuck. Thanks for sharing!!! Good read!

    Welcome aboard from SW Missouri. I am sure many including @Wizcrafts will be able to assist with your Adler 30-1.
